The Wrong Affinity

I seem to have an affinity with floors. The wrong kind of affinity. Wet market floors and high-heeled shoes are not to be tampered with. Ouch... T_T

It's only the 2nd month of 2008 and this is second time I've slipped and fallen ungraciously. What a year.

And YES people! Yours truly has passed her Basic Driving Theory test!! :D

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Val's Day to everyone out there! Yes, Val's Day. MY day. Muahahaha. Well, my sad date-less day spent freezing in the office with hearts and chocolates (heart-shaped doughtnut and a cup of chocolate drink). Then after work I was squashed and jostled around on the waaay-too-packed train. Seriously, the phrase "packed like sardines in a can" was never more apt. The train was SO packed that there's probably no way for anyone to fall down, because there simply isn't any SPACE for anyone to fall down. Oh and I met Elga! Hahaha, so we talked a bit on the waaay-too-packed train until she got off at City Hall while I remained in my tormented state on the waaay-too-packed train. Now I know how stuffings in a sandwich feel.

Oh and just when I thought it was gonna be a sad miserable Valentine's Day, Marc, thanks for the rose and the card, oh and the cookies!

To end off my now-not-so-sad Valentine's Day, I'm gonna have to mug for my Basic Theory Test, which is to commence tomorrow. Wish me all the best man! Hahaha.

Once again, Happy Val's Day!! ~<3 May our dear cupid strike the right people! XD




Oh wait.

Because I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me...

Last night, my great grandma passed away. For the first time in my life, I attended a funeral during Chinese New Year. Last year I attended 3 funerals. Everytime I see someone lying in the coffin, I get this surreal feeling. Cos somehow it doesn't seem real, and yet there they are lying in the coffin, dressed in nice clothes and make-up. And as I look down, somehow I get this weird thought, 'what if she suddenly opens her eyes?' I don't know, maybe it's just me and my weird and over-active imagination.

Rest in peace, great grandma.

Will it never end?

First and foremost, I would like to wish everyone out there a Happy Chinese New Year!!

Though I've got lots to say about my 'happy' chinese new year. For the first time in my life, I didn't go bai nian on the first day of new year. My great grandma got hospitalised and shortly after that, my sister got hospitalised as well, for pneumonia. Then I caught a viral infection and got fever, sore throat, cough and flu -.-

So yours truly is currently stuck at home with her books, violin and computer for companion, while staring wistfully at the new year goodies and wishing I could eat them. But nooo, the dreaded flu refuses to go away.

It feels downright miserable, knowing that its new year and yet I'm unable to do anything but stay home and try to recover.
